Banana inflorescences are popularly known as 'navels,' and they are used in Brazil as nutritional complements. However, the nutritional value of banana inflorescences (male flowers and bracts) has never been studied. Therefore, plant material of Musa acuminata, cultivar "ouro", was collected in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, and then submitted to chemical procedures to determine its nutritional ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the treatment pattern of condyloma acuminata in female. MATERIAL AND METHOD The 5-year medical records of 449 women treated for genital condyloma acuminata at the Gynecologic Infectious Diseases and Female Sexually Transmitted Disease (GID-FSTD) unit were reviewed. Data included the distribution of age, client by category, anatomical site and size, serologically coexisti...

Department of Dermatology, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, NSW 2139, Australia A 72-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of phimosis. Circumcision revealed a large, warty mass on his glans. Biopsy demonstrated condyloma acuminata. Over one year they failed to respond to cautery, cryotherapy and topical imiquimod. Further biopsies confirmed that the lesion was histopatho...

Seeds of Bauhinia acuminata L. were used as an experimental material for micropropagation. The effect of growth regulators concentrations on morphogenetic development was studied. Seeds were germinated on MS medium supplemented with GA3 (0.10, 1.0 and 2.0 mgL -1 ) and without GA3. Satisfactory germination was observed at media with 1.0 mgL -l GA3. Subsequent propagation from plantlet was perfor...

Pisang tongkat langit (Musa troglodytarum L.) is a banana cultivar originated from Eastern Indonesia. Previous studies showed that ACS1 and ACO1 are genes play an important role in ethylene biosynthesis. However, characterization analysis of M. have not been reported. This study aims to isolate characterize the gene expression profile during fruit ripening process. Gene fragment isolation was p...

The effect of Annona squamosa, Lawsonia inermis and their combination with other herbal molluscicides were studied on different enzyme activity in the nervous tissue of Lymnaea acuminata. Twenty-Four hour in vivo exposure to 40% and 80% of 24 h LC50 of plant derived molluscicides and their combination with other molluscicides such as Cedrus deodara, Azadirachta indica oil, Allium sativum, Polia...

   The study aimed at the synthesis and antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) from organic extracts of Cola nitida and Cola acuminata leaf using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and zinc acetate dihydrate [Zn(CH3COO)2∙2H2O] as precursors on selected Gram positive and Gram negative microbes: Staphylococcus aureus, Exiguobacterium aquaticu...

The molluscicidal activity of Punica granatum Linn. (Punicaceae) and Canna indica Linn. (Cannaceae) against the snail Lymnaea acuminata was studied. The molluscicidal activity of P. granatum bark and C. indica root was found to be both time and dose dependent. The toxicity of P. granatum bark was more pronounced than that of C. indica. The 24 h LC(50) of the column-purified root of C. indica wa...
